To the Editor In the eAppendix of the Supplement, Hanson et al¹ detail their survey in which respondents were asked to imagine they had appendicitis, asked to choose among the treatment options, and given descriptions of the options and outcomes. The survey results by Hanson et al¹ describing the public’s preferences for appendicitis treatment may have been different had the assumptions provided about nonoperative treatment of appendicitis (NOTA) been more reflective of our current understanding.

阑尾炎非手术治疗中的可疑假设调查

致编辑汉森等人[ ^1]在补编的电子附录中详细介绍了他们的调查，其中要求受访者想象自己患有阑尾炎，要求他们在治疗方案中进行选择，并对方案和结果进行描述。Hanson等[ ^1]的调查结果描述了公众对阑尾炎治疗的偏好可能有所不同，前提是有关非手术治疗阑尾炎（NOTA）的假设更能反映我们目前的理解。
